Important Added Info: Note that this still is a key book still, printed on a deluxe heavyweight paper stock. Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic. Someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the bottom of the still.

Condition: good to very good. There is a tiny stain in the top right of Arnold's hair, but it it mostly only noticeable when the still is tilted to the light. The bottom 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above), and there are some faint scuffs scattered in the right edge of the image background. Otherwise, the still is in nice condition!
